Also if your video card has 1 vga and 1 dvi you can always get a cheap adapter to convert the dvi to vga giving you 2 vga ports for monitors. Depending on your card it might support using it as a multi-monitor setup. I know my radeon 9800 does.
It is nice to put the instant messaging programs on the second monitor while using the primary monitor for programming and playing games. lets you review the incoming messages without having to alt tab to see if it is worth while. But then again.. I stopped using multi-monitor awhile ago in favor of 2 machines.
